ורבי יוסי הגלילי האי סברא מנא ליה נפקא ליה מדתניא (שמות כב, טז) כסף ישקול כמוהר הבתולות שיהא זה כמוהר הבתולות ומוהר הבתולות כזה

As to R. Yose the Galilean, where does he derive the reasoning [that the payment for rape is the same as that for seduction]? He derives it from the following where it was taught: “He shall pay money according to the bride-price of virgins” (Exodus 22:16)— that this [payment] shall be the same sum as the bride-price of the virgins and the bride-price of virgins shall be the same as this.
